Who Is To Blame The Titanic

The Titanic‘s construction began on March 31, 1909. On May 31, 1911, the ginormous ship has sailed. As on the night of April 14, 11:40 PM, lookouts spotted a large iceberg dead ahead. As the ship and the iceberg move towards each other, BOOM! The Titanic and the iceberg crashed like two middle schoolers in a hallway bumping into each other. A big total of 1,517 men, women, and children died along with the Titanic. Most killed themselves after the Titanic’s sinkage, and a total of 328 bodies were found. But who was to blame of the sinkage?

The Titanic tragedy was not a very happy event, but I am here to share my opinion on the causes of the sinking of it.

The maiden voyage of the RMS Titanic will always be a day marked in history as a night to remember. Why did the Titanic not make it to her port in New York City from her trek across the Atlantic Ocean? The Titanic was designed to take passengers from England, France and Ireland to North America (Gunner). What happened that night the Titanic sank down to her cold watery grave to the bottom North Atlantic? Was it from the design of the ship or perhaps from poor building materials, human naivety and error; or simply a combination of all of these things? The Titanic’s sinking was a combination of all these things but mostly from human naivety and error with their belief of the ship to be unsinkable.

Did you know that the Titanic, Britannic and the Olympic are all sister ships? The ships were all supposed to be unsinkable. Two of them sank shortly after they were built. The Titanic sank on its first voyage. The Britannic sank on its 6th voyage. This happened on November 21, 1916.

The Titanic was a ship that sunk during its maiden voyage in 1912. This big ship was on it’s way to New York when it struck an iceberg. It was believed to be “unsinkable” but that night it met it’s fate and sunk killing many passengers. As the story goes they say it’s the icebergs fault for the sinking of the ship. When in reality, the White Star Line was truly at fault for the sinking of the Titanic. They are responsible for this tragedy because they went full speed after ignoring six ice warnings. Not only that but they should've thought of the consequences when they decided to take off lifeboats for more room for luxury items. Then they weren’t prepared and never had any drills or safety procedures for if the ship were to sink.

On April 15, 1912 at 11:40 P.M. the Titanic collided with an iceberg and by 2:20 A.M. it was at the bottom of the ocean; over 1,500 people died. The massive loss of life was a shock to the world. The “unsinkable” ship had sunk. Despite the Titanic’s claims about being “unsinkable” and completely safe, many avoidable things led to the immense number of fatalities, such as the shortage of lifeboats, lowered bulkheads, and the lack of binoculars. Bruce Ismay, the designer of the Titanic and director of Whitestar line, often chose the comfort of his passengers over their safety. While Ismay was designing the Titanic he thought that the deck was too cluttered so he decided to keep only a third of the lifeboats needed to save all of the passengers

April 15, 1912 the “unsinkable” Titanic had almost three hours before it was no longer afloat, but plunged to the bottom of the North Atlantic Ocean. Blueprints, journal & logs, and tons of witnesses were thoroughly inspected over the past 100 years to help solve the question agonizing question, why. For the 100-year remembrance of the tragic event, Smithsonian Channel released a documentary, Titanic’s Final Mystery. Dedicated Titanic detective and historian, Tim Maltin releases his theory on how the “unsinkable” sank.

Through tone, the authors portray each way the Titanic should be identified by using effective word choice. Many lives were lost on the Titanic that day, but instead

The Titanic’s maiden voyage was disastrous because the beautiful ship sank and many people died. One of the largest flaws of the Titanic’s design is that it was too big and not nimble enough to avoid the iceberg. In addition to the nimbility of the ship, some of the rivets were improperly manufactured and contained a lot of slag in the steel, which makes it more fracture prone.

On April 15th 1912 the largest ship in the world, the Titanic, plunged into the icy blue waters of the Atlantic ocean.  Hundreds of bodies littered the shining ripples of water while survivors frantically searched for their loved ones, holding on to the hope that they were still alive. No one knows who is to blame for this horrific disaster, but many believe that Captain Smith is to blame for the sinking. He ignored ice warnings from the crew and surrounding ships. He also allowed lifeboats to be filled to only half their capacity before being lowered into the water. Captain Smith also traveled at full speed through an ice field.

About a hundred years have passed since the British passenger liner met its fatal end in the North Atlantic on April 15, 1912. The RMS Titanic plummeted two miles to the ocean floor after clashing into an iceberg during its journey to the Port of New York. Over 1,500 people drowned in this unfortunate event. Ever since the sinking, numerous books and remarkable films have been made, telling the story of the ship and its passengers. The wreck of the ship was found in 1985 by the coast of Newfoundland, in the North Atlantic Ocean. Over the years, Titanic’s story has gained unbelievable public exposure and warns people about the danger of not being cautious enough. The Steamship, Titanic, was the end-result of fierce competition among competitor shipping lines in the early 1900s. The White Star Line company competed with Cunard, a British company with two ships that ranked in the categories for the most sophisticated and luxurious during their time. One of Cunard’s masterpieces, Lusitania, met its devastating end in 1915 when a torpedo was fired by a German U-boat and sunk the ship. The sinking killed about 1,200 out of 1,959 people on board and was the gateway to the United States’ entry into World War I. We chose this topic to write about because of the overwhelming impact that the event had on American history. The three categories on the Titanic are: the creation of the boat, passengers and luxury on board, and the night of the unfortunate tragedy.

The catastrophic sinking of the Titanic, over one hundred years ago, continues to drive scientists to search for answers. Was this simply an unfortunate maritime disaster, or did human error play a role in Titanic’s demise? Bruce Ismay, president of White Star Lines, had a dream. A dream, to build a magnificent luxury liner that would transport people across the Atlantic Ocean in style. With the help of the owner, John Pierpont, and ship designer Thomas Andrew Jr., the ship of dreams was soon a reality. However, Titanic’s maiden voyage on April 10, 1912, from Southampton, England to New York, made history in an inconceivable way. Sadly, over one thousand innocent people went to a watery grave in the middle of the cold, dark, Atlantic Ocean.

“Out on the decks, most passengers now began to move toward the stern area, which was slowly lifting out of the water.” confirms author Robert D. Ballard in Exploring the Titanic. But, why were these conditions crucial, and why did people have to take charge during the dreadful night of the Titanic's sinking. Who was to blame for the sinking. It could’ve perhaps been the messenger, the ship's builder, or maybe the captain. It could've just been one of them or it could’ve all three of them. The designer was experienced but maybe just not enough.

The RMS Titanic is a passenger liner that sunk in the North Atlantic in 1912 after hitting an iceberg. About 1,500 of the estimated 2,224 passengers died. The ship sailed full speed despite ice warnings, preventing it from stopping or steering away from the berg. Watertight compartments flooded, causing Titanic to go under. These details are supported by accounts and physical evidence, and therefore, widely accepted as truth. However, there's a few alternative conspiracy and architectural theories.

When analyzing this disaster the first thing to consider is the engineer’s design of the Titanic. The Titanic was employing many new and innovative designs that were believed to make the Titanic the safest ship ever built at that time. The engineer’s of the vessel made claims that the Titanic was “unsinkable” and that “even in the worst possible accident at sea, the ship should have stayed afloat for two to three days.” One of the features that lead them to this claim was the 16 watertight compartments in the hull of the ship. The way they were designed allowed for up to four compartments to be breached and they ship would still carry
